The shortest month of the year should't limit the expansive contributions of Black people throughout the United States and the Americas. We'll salute the sacrifices, dreams, hopes and opportunities of African Americans from Phyllis Wheatley to Dr. Ralph David Abernathy to Rev. Karla Cooper who represent the best of our race.

Black History IS American History. And today's show pays tribute to why it should matter to ALL people throughout the land.

Tonight, we talked about personal choice vs socialism and progressivism. Some say people in poverty are trapped because of the circumstances society places on them. I say people choose their own destiny, and personal choice is our way out. We also discussed President Obama's "Sloppy Salute," Hispanics and their voting trends in Texas and the need to constantly screen for the best government employees. No government job is guaranteed for life.

Guests are welcome to call-in to the number provided and share their opinion with host.

March is National Women's History Month and to celebrate the Power of Poetics BlogTalk Radio Show will salute the many women poets who shaped our world and changed the course of history through their works. These women lifted their voices through their words to fight for rights, to be free of discrimination and stereotypes, to break free from rules set forth by men, family, and society and to be themselves. Please join us every week to celebrate and to share poems that are old and new.

Upon her honorable discharge in 2010, Kimberly again went back to school. She received her second Bachelor’s in English and immediately enrolled in Graduate school. She is graduating with her Masters in Teaching English and Students with Disabilities in May 2015.

As Saturday, February 7, 2015, is the first Saturday in Black History Month, we thought that we would devote our discusions on Black History topics of interest that are relevant to and about the Black community. Some topics to be covered:

Hubert Harrison: The Voice of Harlem Radicalism, 1883-1918 by Jeffrey Perry The Virgin Islands Literary Festival and Book Fair, March 26-29, 2015 Tribute to Mr. Harrison on this program, March 28 Topics from my Black History Chronicles And, of course, invited comments and questions from our audience.

On this special episode of The VDown with Michael V, Michael recogonizes a very special day in the United States, Veterans' Day. Michael will recogonize and pay tribute to the many men and women who have served and/or currently serving in our armed forces. Michael will also recount his own tales from his tours in Kosovo and Iraq deployments which took up almost 3 of his 13 years of service in the Kansas Army National Guard. Michael will also be taking calls for anyone who wants to give a special salute to a veteran who is special to them or just a general thank you to all veterans. So join us, Tuesday, November 11th at 11 am Central Time for our salute to our veterans.

Engineering graduate of U. of Houston, Masters in Marketing from UCLA. 35 years in Toy biz (17 @ Mattel, balance of years with own company. Most of career spent living and working in the Orient. Scuba Dive, Lived in Florida Keys for 12 years. Hawaii for two years, S. Cal most other years, Currently live on Emerald Coast of Florida Panhandle ( Gulf Breeze, FL)

My thirty years of adventure and experiences living and working in the Far East gives me the voice of authority in my writings of Asian business and crime, and how the two are considered one in the same.I was immediately struck as a young man of the Oriental's obsession with power and greed, gambling and sex, and the need to win at any cost. Their driving force of "Face", and the life threatening humiliation of losing it. I have spent my share of time in little known back-water ports around Asia, learning and applying the rules of the East; knowing when a business deal is done, when to run, believe only half of what you see, and nothing of what you are told; survival goes in the plus column.
